Outstanding Inspection Report for RGS Springfield

The Independent Schools Inspectorate team (the equivalent of Ofsted for independent schools) spent four days at RGS Springfield at the end of January 2009 and the final Inspection Report has just arrived.

During the four day inspection the team of inspectors had the opportunity to experience every aspect of school life for children aged from 2½ to 11. They greatly praised the quality and range of the educational experience provided by the Britannia Square Preparatory School and commented on the extensive after school extra curricular programme. Standards of literacy, oracy and numeracy were rated as high and pupils were praised for their enthusiasm and exemplary behaviour.

Inspectors agreed that pupils of all ages have a well – developed spiritual awareness and the serenity and spaciousness of the RGS Springfield site were considered to assist pupils’ capacity for reflection and contemplation. “The spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of the pupils is outstanding.”

Headmistress Marion Lloyd said, “I am delighted with this excellent report. I believe it is an accurate reflection of the high quality education and range of opportunities that are available to our children. It is a tribute to the outstanding teachers and children we have in Springfield, who all contribute so greatly to our school community.”
